What are people's opinion on what the greatest classic rally cars are?

From any class, for any era.

I really like the Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR, Audi Quattro, Escort MK 1/2. I like the liveries a lot better on the older rally cars too!

I am a fan of all the Lancias, especially the Stratos and the 037. The Fiats were great too. Then the Escort MKII and the M3 E30.

I won't say which is the one, just will post a video for a replica construction with assist of Walter Röhrl:

For me the best outings of this car are 1000 Lakes '85 and Monte Carlo '86.

stefan,

thats a very nicely build replica. I have seen the car in eiffel rally videos but didnt knew the history of it.
thanks for sharing.

I am wondering what happened to the original factory team cars?

I think there is at least one perfectly preserved S1 E2 driven by Stig Blomqvist in the past. Rohrl and Blomqvist use it ocasionally.

so you mean it's still in Audi or in a private collection?

I have no idea, but more likely it is private

I think this is what is in the factory - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVwuJNbgTUQ. Doesn't seem to be the same I mentioned, probably this is another original.
